Could I've caused bump on bridge of nose to get bigger by taking lots of deep breaths & yawning? Been doing that a lot last few mos due to a back muscle strain. Now I'm worried I caused the bump to get bigger. Or can only surgery change bump shape?
Pinched tip of nose a few times & held breath; wore glasses down on tip of nose 2 times. Now nose seems wider & longer. Did those few times cause that?
Few times I pinched my nose & held breath few secs to try to thin it out. Now my nose seems much longer and bridge bump bigger. Could I've caused that?
Can excessive yawning or frequently opening mouth wide daily (such as to shout or sing) cause the small bump on sides of bridge of nose to get bigger or become more prominent? Or does only surgery change nose/bump shape?
If I pinched my nostrils & held my breath a few times would that change the shape of my nose like make it slimmer or longer or bone on bridge wider?
